Simplicity introduced a stereotypically mature sound to the group’s roster following their debut album, Be Slowly, but both records feature music that you can not only tap your feet, but also, apparently, jump around the room to – all night long.

The band moved between their two albums seamlessly. Regardless of the song, the energetic audience were shouting back the lyrics, word-for-word, to the four-piece from Birmingham.

Highlights included Think Too Much, Feel Too Little, Surround You and new single Cast.

According to frontman Connor Schofield, the video to the latter featured footage from their last gig in Manchester.

The screams that emanated from the middle of the mosh presumably meant that many of those in attendance were enjoying their second bite at the JAWS cherry.

The support for the evening came from Kagoule. One of those acts which mystifyingly create a wall of noise from just a guitar, a bass and a drum set.

However, their sound was a refreshing – enough to make a number of people around the venue take out their phones to check if the band was on Spotify. They are.

JAWS finished off the night with perhaps their most well-known track, Gold. It came after the pre-encore respite, which didn’t feature the ‘slow hand clap until the band sprawl back onto stage’ that gigs across the country have come to expect.

Instead, thanks to a bit of Mancunian creativity, the band were treated to an audience-led rendition of Spandau Ballet’s Gold.

The band duly obliged with their own completely different version of the song, perhaps the most recognisable song of the lot. It has featured on Hollyoaks, ya know?

The audience then left, slightly red-faced, slightly exhausted, young or old, teeth showing through their massive grins.
